Kadıköy is located on the Anatolian side of İstanbul and is an intersection between different parts of the city. The first settlement in Kadıköy dates to the 19’th century. Byzantine lived in Sarayburnu in 658 BC, a district that is located on the European side right across the Kadıköy, captivated by the beauty of Sarayburnu and bewilderedly and thought that people who lived in Kadıköy must be blind not to see the magnificent beauty of Sarayburnu.
Nearly everyone in the world heard about Istanbul city and how beautiful it is but let us be honest, visiting the same city over and over again will end up having no more fun. thus, people started to go deeper in turkey to see other cities and have another great experience, cities like Bursa, Fethiye, Izmir and Cappadocia have been attractive cities for tourists especially Cappadocia.
